Child Mental Health Initiative, County of Orange, New York - Family Matters of Orange County will bring together our separate child-serving systems to produce sustainable outcomes by using evidence based practices, preventing out-of-home placements and enhancing community-based services. Family Matters of Orange County will provide accessible services for all children and youth from birth to 21 years of age. Specific target populations include children and youth with co-occurring disorders, juvenile justice and/or child welfare-involved youth. We will also develop preventive strategies for birth-five year olds and transitional-aged youth. The initiative will create a virtual single point of access (V-SPOA), increasing capacity to serve 250+ families per year. The V-SPOA will eliminate multiple assessments, use validated screening and assessment instruments matching level of need to appropriate care and reduce duplication of services. The development of a cross system management information system (MIS) will serve to reduce inefficiencies that occur now when each child-serving system maintains their "silos" of client data.
